Abstract

The burgeoning e-commerce sector in China stands at the crossroads of technological innovation and sustainable development, particularly within the context of circular economy. This paper explores the multifaceted role that technologies play in enhancing circular economic practices within this rapidly evolving industry. The primary questions addressed are: (1) What key technologies are influencing China's circular economy in e-commerce sector? (2) How can we assess the impact of these technologies on circular economy of China's e-commerce? (3) What are the broader applications and potential challenges for scaling these practices? Employing the analytical capabilities of CiteSpace, this study identifies and identifies and maps out the key technologies that are pivotal in facilitating a circular economy. These include advancements in big data analytics, blockchain for supply chain transparency, IoT for resource monitoring, and AI-driven platforms for waste reduction and materials management. By highlighting the interconnectedness of these technologies, the study offers a comprehensive overview of the technological ecosystem propelling the circular economy. The paper then transitions to an evaluative framework, using case studies to gauge the effectiveness and impact of these technologies. By examining real-world applications in the e-commerce sector, the study provides qualitative insights into how technology not only drives efficiency and sustainability but also engenders new business models and consumer behaviors aligned with circular economic principles. Lastly, the broader implications of these findings are discussed, alongside scaling opportunities. The paper argues that the integration of technology in circular economic practices is instrumental for green technology and serves as a catalyst for competitiveness and innovation on a global scale. The study also provides recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders to leverage the potential of technology within the e-commerce sector to advance a more resource-efficient, circular economy.
